Cardboard-Based Wine Bottles

The Green Gen Cardboard Bottle from Green Gen Technologies is a paper-based packaging solution designed for wines, spirits, and other liquid foods. The product comprises a rigid cardboard outer shell made from plant fiber kraft paper and an inner plastic liner that collapses as liquid is dispensed. The bottle is offered in a standard 750 ml Bordeaux-style format and is manufactured in France. Green Gen positions the design as lighter than glass, with a reported total weight around 130 grams including closure, and highlights customization options for color and branding.

The company frames the bottle as a sustainability-oriented alternative to traditional glass by emphasizing reduced transport weight and lower associated carbon emissions, recyclability of the paper components, and the use of renewable materials. Packaging descriptions note that the inner liner can be separated for recycling where local systems permit and that the outer sleeve is compatible with existing recycling streams for paper. The product is presented for commercial and retail use, with claims of robustness, protection against light exposure, and suitability for standard filling and distribution processes.
